Re: Scotland Premier League picks 18-22/1

Rangers manager Walter Smith:"We have a wee struggle defensively," Smith said. "We have doubts over Steven Whittaker and Sasa Papac for tomorrow's game and Madjid Bougherra is suspended.

"Steven could not put his boot on this morning without a lot of discomfort and Sasa Papac has a groin injury. It's not a bad one but obviously we have to show a bit of care to make sure it doesn't get any worse.

"We also have Steven Naismith doubtful.

"So we are a little bit short, especially defensively if the two boys are out.

"Andy Webster is available and Richard Foster is there and we have Lee McCulloch who can move to the back, so we have managed to cover it, but it leaves us short defensively."
